SOURCE: need the code 4 my radio its ford focus 1.6 ghia
There is a little utility/tool that is on the internet (can be found with a bit of searching). You put your serial no. in and it gives you the correct code. I have tested on three of my own units and correct code each time, as per the issued radio passport. I will not say where on internet, as I agree with what "emissionwiz" stated about how do we know radio not result of illegal activities.

Hi,
Unfortunately you need the serial number of the radio in order to unlock it. You must remove the radio from the dash and you will find the serial on a sticker on the case. There is no other way round it as the serial of the car is not relevant with these Ford radios unlike some other manufacturers.
For European Ford radios the serial begins with a letter then 6 numbers e,g M123456.
It is this number you must find in order to have the code processed. The radio can be removed from the dash with special tools which you can obtain from the likes of Halfords for around £5. Halfords staff will usually be happy to assist if you need them to pull the unit out for you.
This diagram illustrates the radio removal process for the Ford Focus.
There is no other way to decode the radio. Even Ford themselves need the serial of the radio to retrieve the code but will charge £20 to £35 to provide this.
One alternative is to use this site which does the codes for £3.50. I have used it a number of times for these Ford radios and they are very reliable and cheap compared to Ford.
Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa.

Hi,
The serial number is on a label at the back of the radio. With this model you must remove the radio from the dash to find it.
If it is a European Ford the serial will look like M123456. You can try this site for the code once you have the serial as they are cheap and reliable for decoding Fords.
Otherwise your local dealer will get you this code for around £25.
See video below for instructions on removing the radio.
